Thanks very much for this. Have tried this version and audio is now immediately heard upon resume.
Its good find, although not easy to pick, because DVDVideoCodecAmlogic.cpp doesnt have GetOutputPicture method.
As @umark62 tracked within opened Issue, the context for this buffer flush is here - should affect just resume point. My observations with latest Kodi@CE - video starts a bit earlier than stopped state anyway (doesnt bother me, maybe in contrary. Most important is it doesnt start later).
I think nearest keyframe before makes sense (quote from issue: “This line was not present when #11713 was first done.”)
I can confirm that big pause after resume/seek is gone with flush buffer removed. Cant comment impact on A/V sync as there is need more tests and comparations.
Please do so - we are not sure if this changes will have affect to other places in Kodi or hardware decoder.
Ill try. Although I cant make 100% statement as I change configuration from C2 to VIM3L recently, and I am still catching spot on delays (I mean for different TV modes, different sources/fps). So cant tell if some changes was just because that buffers, more like because I jumped from 3.14 to ng kernel.
So far only TV testing, no projector profile, seems to be promising…
Update: A few projector movies, still doesnt spot issues.
The patch is tomorrow in next nightly included.
unfortunately i have to highlight this thread again. strangely enough i have the bug only sporadically.
i made an entry in advancedsetting and it was good for a few days.
unfortunately i had the mistake again today and the video stuttered:
WARNING: ActiveAE - large audio sync error
strangely enough, I restart the odroid n2+ and the video runs without stuttering 
any idea what I can do?
Has this problem been resolved? I get a consistent one second audio gap every time I pause. I am on 9.2.5, amlogic-ng (Odroid N2+). Thanks
Same here, on Odroid N2 with 9.2.6 I have the gap in audio after pause. Would say is less than one second, though. It appears also for software decoder.
Where can a bug report can be filled for this ? It’s very annoying and I lived with it since I got my Odroid N2 in August last year, hoping at every update it will be solved. Who tests these releases ? How come they don’t notice such an obvious issue ?
This all depends on settings. I had this issue before but I tweaked audio settings and now it’s gone. Also don’t use the auto skip back addon because it makes this issue worse.
Would you mind sharing the tweaks you made ?
Search the forums
^ very useful ^
shouldn’t this delivered with an update, if it’s a well know problem ? why should I search forums to make my box work without annoying bugs ?
starting to regret that I installed CoreElec on my N2
Sometimes it’s easier to get information when the tone doesn’t sound so condescending. Just saying.
First you complain about an issue that is now so urgent and at the same time you say you lived with it for years. Have you asked yourself if it’s maybe a setting issue and try some different settings. No!
So I told you it’s a setting issue and I had it myself and you still don’t try it.
You know that it’s not permanent, the installation in your N2? You can install anything else. I understand that sometimes some people have annoying bugs but at least they are willing to try and understand what’s the problem instead of attacking CE team for no good reason.
You can look around and see that there’s an effort to solve all bugs, but in the end, this is a project made by people who volunteer their free time and you are not our costumer. We are all equal here. Everyone can contribute.
Why it’s so hard to provide a link to forum post with settings ?
There is nothing to fix here. It depends on the setup and doesn’t effect everyone. It can be solved by checking the settings in audio. But it depends on the setup so there is no general answer which setting.
